  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

[censored] this.

So should we. Jesus Christ.

They shouldn't be coming out any more angry than us.

They absolutely annihilated us two years ago by almost 150 points.

We should be licking our lips at the chance of giving it back to them whilst they're down and out.

We owe them.

Totally agree. Let's see it as an opportunity to feast on a drug addled carcass.

hope Hird doesn't get sacked this week

Why should they even consider sacking him?

Are you a media propagandist?

He is doing a fantastic job.

It has come up numerous times but do we seriously think letting Howe dish up such poor performances week in week out really assists his trade value more than dropping him? Are other clubs really that stupid?

Richmond almost traded pick 12 for an injured Trengove, and were only lucky that he failed a medical at the very last minute.

So my answer is yes, yes they are.

Now my mum said you don't hate anything in the world but sorry mum i hate this club and the majority (not all) of their smug sh*t don't stink supporters who think that it's their supreme right to be cocky and arrogant to other clubs supporters yet are genuinely shocked when people hate their club.

I hate Essendon....hate them. HATE THEM!!!!

Growing up in the area in the 80's 90's 2000's sucked with this black and red machine winning premierships along the way.

God i hate this team so over the past few years when we have beaten them it's the game i want to win every year.

Smash them, crush them next week!!! Destroy them!!!!!

I'm holding my breath as I type this, but.... Fitzpatrick? I don't know how you fit him in to the side as another tall, but he could handle Daniher in terms of height, size and speed.

Fork Fitzy, not required and not good enough!! back our mids to starve supply and tell Dunny or Garland its down to them!

You think clubs will trade higher for him if he plays in our side and dishes up rubbish like that than if we put him to Casey?

Well, the reigning premiers took Frawley.

The problem with GWS is their picks are tied up with live Academy selections. They'll need to trade out players for more first rounders and trade us that.

That said, if GWS can afford $700k in their salary cap for Howe, that's mindbogglingly poor list management. Although this is the club paying Scully $1M a year, so it fits with that logic.

If we can towel up Essendon next week, I get the feeling that that will be the result that sees Herd out of the building. God I hope we do it!

I actually think we will destroy the druggies. They have lost hope and are mentally shot, they are going through the motions now. If we come out hard and with the right team I'm tipping a good 60+ thumping

umm yes, and Danaiher is 201cms

So if you are looking for a match up, there you go.

Dunn played on and destroyed Hawkins who is 197cm and 101kgs two weeks ago.

Don't think Danher's size would worry him....

St. Kilda beat them by 110 points yet you are only predicting 60+.

Where is your ambition man?

Expecting a light week on the track so the boys can freshen up, Matt Jones may stay in because we are playing the Bombers who can be exposed for run but IMO should be dropped, Spencer will be dropped due to match ups

Jetta Dunn Garland

Lumumba TMAC Cross

Stretch Viney Vince

Watts Dawes Brayshaw

Garlett Hogan JKH

Gawn, N.Jones, Tyson

I/C:Toumpas, ANB, Grimes & Howe

Emergencies: Newton, Michie & Fitzpatrick

Out:Spencer, Bail & M Jones

Ins:Lumumba, JKH & Grimes

I am putting Brayshaw in as I am hoping he is okay and not really sure where Grimes is at with his hand, JKH needs to come in to give Garlett a hand at ground level

We need to drop both Bail & M Jones because when the heat is on they can't cut it. Both dropped easy chest marks because they were bracing themselves for contact. Compare them to Brayshaw yes they both can run, but both are poor kicks. I'm over players that can run but are crap footballers. We have 2 many NQR'S in our squad. We have to delist them ASAP and go for kids who can kick and are smart footballers.

mate, wrong poster. I'm not the one saying it will. I am just informing him that we do have someone of equal height who can play on him.

Sorry yes that quote came out wrong! My bad

Beggars belief doesn't it out with 2 NQR's & in with 2 more. I agree with u we have 2 stop playing guys like M Jones, Bail because they can run & Mckenzie & Terlich because they try hard.

I think you'll find that BPP made that post with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.

It's a given, Bail & M. Jones & Spencer Brayshaw ( still getting neck spasms he said he must toughen up.)

Fresh Legs JKH, Newton, lumumba & michie.

Howe is safe he should have fresh legs, he didn't use them on Sat.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
